I'm running MS Windows 2000 and did the standard python 
windows install. So you can't blame my build! Its real.

And yes, this is a pretty basic flaw, and intermittent at that!
(about 1 out of ten runs failing.)

I'll see what I can do about isolation. (Being in India has its 
advantages.)

My guess is that a small change to the signiture will fix this, 
which doesn't help anyone else, as this bug will likely haunt 
2.3 if not caught.
